Say hello to the night,

Lost in the shadows,

Say hello to the night,

Lost in the loneliness.

Chris kept struggling against all of them so that they finally had to set him down.  Stephanie ran to go and call the ambulance.  Dave, Shawn and Hunter all tried to hold him down, while Molly paced the hall.  Chris was watching all of this in a faint way of slow motion.  He closed his eyes for a few moments.  When he reopened them, he wasn't in pain anymore, and no one was hovering over him.  There was no one around him.

He slowly sat up, and began to look around.  He heard voices coming from downstairs.  He reached behind him and felt his back.  The only thing that he felt was the cotton of his t-shirt.  He slowly stood up and grabbed onto the banister for support.  Shawn walked through the entryway and looked up at Chris.

"Hey sleepyhead!!  Did you finally decide to grace us with your presence?"  Shawn asked mockingly.  Chris stood there like an idiot for a moment, trying to figure out what exactly was going on.

"Yeah, sure, whatever, Shawn."  Chris said, then went back to the puzzled look that he had before.  Dave and Hunter walked in at that moment, picking on each other.  All of them had extremely short hair.  Chris reached up and realized that his own golden locks were gone.

"I think that you're still asleep there bud, you look a little out of it."  Shawn said.  Dave and Hunter looked up to see what the heck Shawn was talking about.

"No, I'll be fine."

"Well you'd better hurry up, we leave for the base in about 40 minutes, you don't want to be late, do you?"  Shawn asked him.  Just then Stephanie walked in with the exact outfit that she had been wearing in Chris's "vision".  Chris sighed in confusion and went back into the room.

Chris was walking down a hallway that was unfamiliar to him.  His boots sounded so strange in this hollow and empty place.  His suitcase was still in his hand.  He peered into one of the windows, and saw nothing.   He continued down the hall and stopped at another window.  He peered inside and was astounded with what he was witnessing.

There were two regular officers and a colonel in the office.  The two officers were holding a young woman's hand still while the colonel was taking the whip and beating the young woman's hand with it.  Chris stared on in shock.  All of a sudden he felt a hand on his back.

"That girl there, she tried to run away.  There are different punishments for different things that happen here.  You'd do best not to get involved in any of them." A man said.  Chris found himself nodding and looking down.  "Are you a new recruit?"

"Yes sir." Chris said, looking at his hand and noticing for the first time that his wedding ring was missing.

"Oh, you were in that group of folks that came in from Missouri, aren't you?"

"Yes." Chris said.

Chris shook his head.  What the hell was going on?  First he was a wrestler, now he was a soldier?  He knew that his father had served time in the military, but he never thought that he would.  Molly came running up behind him.

"You should tell Stephanie how you feel about her, because if you don't then Shawn's going to take her for himself."  She said, prancing into the room.  Chris was standing there, not even realizing that he was dressed, packed, and ready to go already.

"What are you talking about?"  Chris asked.  Molly gave him a look.

"Are you feeling okay, Chris?  I mean, you've only had a crush on Stephanie, since, oh, I don't know…….since the first time you saw her!!"  Chris stared at her.  Things were not making any sense.  They hadn't for a very long time.

Chris had a feeling that it wasn't going to get much clearer.
